11 years ago Gaurav - :+1: nice work. A few notes after checking out the code:
- The method for setting click handlers is very redundant. Check the feedback guide for a way to clean this up.
- You need better error handling for user inputs (i.e what happens if amount is unspecified), might be nice to display a toast. More details in feedback guide.
One of the most important part of these projects is that you add additional features and tweak the UI / UX because that will provide many more learning opportunities. I'm glad you have started that early and I would encourage you to push the projects each week, continue adding your own UI elements and experimenting with optional features that improve the user experience.
We have provided a detailed Project 1 Feedback Guide here which covers the most common points we see for this project. Read through the feedback guide point-by-point to determine other ways you could improve your submission. You should consider going back and implementing applicable feedback as well. Keep in mind that one of the most important parts of Android development is learning the correct patterns and conventions.
Hopefully this has given you a first sense of the RelativeLayout which is a very powerful layout system, probably one of the best responsive-first layout systems available across web and mobile platforms. The next assignment will build on top of the first concepts introduced here and will also introduce networking, api use, handling remote images and navigating between activities.
If you have any particular questions about the assignment in general or on any of the feedback, feel free to reply here or post on the discussion forum on Canvas.
